Calibrating Your Inner GPS

I get this question a lot:

How do I know I’m on the Right Path?

The absolute best news, ever, is that even by just ASKING this question, you are farther along than the majority of the world’s population!!

Most people ping-pong their way through life like a drunk moth trying to find the next light to fly into — without knowing whether or not that light is actually a bug zapper.

think I’m wrong?

Go find a bench at a crowded intersection or mall and people watch for a while.

That is not you, or you wouldn’t be reading this.

This question comes up — whether or not you are on the right path — when it seems as if your goals and dreams are “taking too long” to come into fruition, or if you are still a bit wobbly in your chosen path.

That is Okay.

This is Fixable.

Calibrating Your Inner GPS, simplified

Think of your goals — your great big, huge, and hairy goals as your destination.

It doesn’t matter if this big and hairy goal takes 3 or 5 or 10 years to achieve — you just know, deep down inside, that you WANT this.

you NEED this.

You won’t feel satisfied in life until this HAPPENS.

Then set your GPS.

Write it out — (don’t worry about the HOW) — just write out what the precise wants are —

exactly.

Write out exactly what the end result looks like, tastes like, feels like, smells like, what you are wearing, who is with you, etc etc etc.

(hey steph, this seems hokey and stupid and I don’t want to)

Do it anyway. Humor me. Humor the future you.

Now Put this End Point Away for a Few Days

And then go through your day. Slowly.

Listen to your inner voices, intuition, guidance — if you get a flash of inspiration that leads you a teensy bit closer to this particular goal, then FOLLOW IT THROUGH.

over and over again.

And that’s It.

What You Can’t Do

is change your end destination. That confuses you AND your GPS.

and you won’t get anywhere.

Think about it — you are in San Francisco and want to drive to Las Vegas.

It’s going to take roughly 10 hours. Is it okay to stop for coffee, take photos at vista points, and buy souvenirs along the way?

YUP!

But if you hit traffic in LA — do you then decide that Las Vegas isn’t “worth it” and that you should head home because it obviously wasn’t “meant to be”?

NOPE.

Teeny tiny baby steps. Just know where you are going and make the next best choice to move you forward.

You’ve got this.
